One Way Ventures

One Way Ventures is a Boston-based venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Semyon Dukach that exclusively backs startups with at least one immigrant founder. The firm invests at the pre-seed and seed stages in the United States, with selective investments in Canada. It does not filter by sector, focusing instead on market size and founder quality; its portfolio spans AI/ML, fintech, SaaS, deep tech, healthcare, logistics, and consumer technology. Check sizes range from $250K–$500K at pre-seed and $1M–$3M at seed, with approximately 50% of each fund reserved for follow-on. The firm has raised multiple funds, with Fund II closing at $57.5 million. One Way also runs the annual One Way Summit, a community event for immigrant entrepreneurs. Founders can submit pitches directly via the firm's website.
